About Guardian Childcare & Education Marrickville

Guardian Childcare & Education Marrickville boasts a range of resource-rich environments, including herb and vegetable gardens, a spacious outdoor area, and natural play structures where children are encouraged to explore and learn. We’re proud to provide the best local childcare in Marrickville, where every child is supported to thrive.

Guardian’s exclusive To BE Me program creates a unique learning adventure for every child. It demonstrates clearly how play connects to learning and development, offering families new insights and a lifelong record of these important years.

The NSW Government offers funding to subsidise the cost of preschool in long day care. For 3-year-old’s this is between $423-$769 and for 4-year-olds between $1,783-$2,563. This support is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy and can help to lower your out-of-pocket fees. Ask for more details when you tour the centre.

Nursery Rooms are our specialty. Our experienced Baby Ambassador and Nursery team take the time to really know your baby’s routines and personality, supporting them to feel safe and settled. Our Nursery rooms are calm, nurturing spaces that feel like a home away from home.

By focusing on Nutrition for Life, Guardian gives families peace of mind, knowing their children are developing habits that can set them up for a future of exposure to different foods, good eating patterns and healthy eating. Our qualified cook / chef provides 5 healthy foods every day from our in-house kitchen.

Parents can be assured that their child’s wellbeing and safety are at the centre of everything we do, making Guardian a trusted choice for safe childcare.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

To BE Me is Guardian’s exclusive learning program specifically designed for each age and stage of your child’s early years.

The program includes resources and tools that support learning and make it easy to see your child’s progress along Learning and Development Pathways.

It groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see this progress clearly.​ Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.

Children receive their own My Learning and Development Book, which is updated regularly with their progress.

To BE Me is underpinned by Guardian’s world class teaching program that has been developed over many years of research and thousands of hours observing how children develop.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

We believe in nutrition for life, supporting children to develop healthy eating habits from an early age. Qualified Chefs and Cooks in our centres create fresh and nutritious meals each day, using seasonal, high-quality ingredients that align with Australian Dietary Guidelines.

Meals are designed to be delicious, introduce children to diverse flavours, and make eating healthy food a positive experience.

Managing allergies and intolerances is part of how we keep mealtimes safe and enjoyable. Every child’s needs are carefully tracked, meals are supervised by permanent educators, and allergens are strictly controlled.

Beyond providing wholesome food, we use mealtimes as learning opportunities. Children practice independence by serving themselves and engaging in conversations about food, building confidence and understanding of healthy choices.

We’ve had a truly wonderful experience at Guardian Marrickville. The centre is well organised and professional, and the educators and staff are always warm and friendly. As a new migrant family, my daughter was gently supported in settling into a new environment. We’re so grateful for all the care, and this will always be a special memory for our family.

Response from the owner 16 Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Emma. We’re truly pleased to hear that your family has had such a positive experience and that you’ve felt supported by a warm, organised, and professional team. It means a great deal to know your daughter was gently supported as she settled into a new environment, especially as a new migrant family. We’re grateful to have been part of this important chapter for your family and appreciate you sharing such meaningful feedback.

My daughter has been at Guardian since she was six months old and is currently in fulltime care at the Guardian Nursery. The educators take wonderful care of her, and have come to know her so intimately. they are attuned to her every need and she continues to thrive. The educators have also been incredibly lovely and helpful to me and my partner. Leanna the mangers, as well as the educators go above and beyond to make sure my daughter is cared for. The Centre itself is incredible well staffed and resourced, would highly recommend Guardian to anyone who has the means to access daycare.
